According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, said main body of comprises an upper part, a lower part and a middle part; wherein the middle part and the upper part are mounted together and form a space for clamping the steam generator, a steam through hole is disposed on the middle part.

Referred from the description of the present invention, compared to the conventional technique, the grilling device of present invention has below advantages:

Firstly, by adding a steam generator on the main body, the grilling device will not only has grill function, but also has steam heating function, so the heating speed of the grilling device is quick\ the loss of nutrition of food will be eliminated\ degreasing and freshen and so on, so the cooked food will be more nutritious and healthy, the chance of diseases caused by obesity will be reduced;

Secondly, the steam outlet is disposed on the top of the main body of grilling device, so the steam will spurt vertically and downwardly, the heating of food will speed up, the effect of degreasing and freshen is more efficient;

Thirdly, since the present invention has the steam heating function, so the cooking speed of food is quicker, on the one hand the cooking time will be saved, on the other the energy consumption will be reduced and helpful for environmental protection;

Fourthly, the present invention applies a fixed mask to mount the steam pipe and electric heating tube together, so the ordinary steam will be sufficiently processed twice by the electric heating tube, thereby the steam with sufficient high temperature will be generated.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will become apparent upon the reference of detailed description of the embodiments.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a grilling device of the present invention, comprising a main body 100 and a steam generator 200 disposed on the top of said main body 100.

The main body 100 of grilling device comprises an upper part 101\ a lower part 102 and a middle part 103, the middle part 103 and the upper part 101 are mounted together and form a space for clamping the steam generator 200, a grilling plate is disposed in the lower part 101, the bottom surface of middle part 103 can be also disposed with grilling plate according to practical need, further, a steam through hole 1031 is disposed on the top of middle part 103 for the spurting the steam generated by the steam generator 200.

said steam generator comprises a pump\ a first water pipe\ a heating element\ an electric heating tube\ a steam pipe and a fixed mask; wherein said pump has a water inlet which is connected with a water supply and a water outlet which is connected with said heating element by said first water pipe; wherein one end of said steam pipe communicates with said heating element, and the other end is a steam outlet which extends into an cooking chamber of said main body; wherein said fixed mask mounts said steam pipe and said electric heating tube together.

Please refer to FIG. 3\ FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the steam generator 200 comprises a pump 21, a water tank 22, a heating element 23, an electric heating tube 24, a steam pipe 25, a first water pipe 26, a second water pipe 27 and a fixed mask 28, said pump 21 communicates with the water tank 22 by the second water pipe 27, and communicates with inlet 231 of heating element 23 by first water pipe 26, the heating element 23 is embedded with an electric heating tube 233, and it communicates with the ordinary steam inlet 251 of an end of steam pipe 25 by the steam outlet on it, another end of steam pipe 25 is steam outlet 252; the steam pipe 25 and the electric heating tube 24 are mounted together by the fixed mask 28, so the electric heating tube 24 can sufficiently heat the ordinary steam twice, so the steam with sufficient high temperature will be generated.
